WAS HE HANGED IN TEXASl
The Fate OF Young Morgan Who
Robbed the Night LOdginS.HOuSe.

The Washington police have information that
one OF the men hanged by lynchers in Texas, some
two or three weeks since for horse stealing, was
Eugene Morgan, young man who was in their
hands about year ago, being charged with grand
larceny and housebreaking, and who was released
by the Criminal Court by suspension OF SEN
tence. Morgan was young man OF very respect
able family and a collegiate education, hailing
from Atlanta, Ca, where his family still reside.
He came here early in 1885 to see the inaugura-
ton, and expected an appointment under the ad-
ministration. His money running out, he went to
the night lodging-house, on 12th street. When
the house had been closed for the season it ap-
pears that the effects were carried OF and sold.
suspicion fell On Morgan and finally he was ar
larceny and housebreaking. The prisoner was sent
10 jail, ana his case was pending in the Criminal
Court for several months. Finally, after his
parents had reimbursed the lodging house, a num-
Der OF southern Senators and Representatives in
terceded for him, and his plea of '.guilty" was
taken to one OF the charges and the sentence was
suspended on his personal recogniZance. 1t was
understood that he would go to Europe. 1t APP
pears, however, that he changed his plans, and
the sentence here is suspended 1Or all time.
